What a lot of Swans!

This was taken at the Swannery in Abbotsbury. They were beautiful.

Wow I saw 33 together this year but this beats my sighting. Fav.

@snoopybooboo This was just a fraction. There were hundreds. Thanks for the fav Tony.

@susiemc The ones I saw were all over the place and I must have done about 10 recounts and still came up with three different numbers.

wow, that is a lot of swans..... nice shot

[Claire]

There is a brave little bird in amongst them

[Jane Morley]

The colour of the beaks is a terrific contrast isn't it. Love it.

[Sue Cooper]

@dizzyd @claireuk @chimfa Thank you ladies. Yes you're right Claire, there's a coot taking shelter. There were gale force winds at the time this photo was taken. The beaks are just lovely, Jane. You're right.

Another super capture. Fav.

[Pamela Clarke]

A herd of swans (apparently) surely it should be a ballet. Really beautiful picture .. and the duck behind too.

[Sue Cooper]

@thresheg Thank you Graham. It wasn't that difficult a shot because they weren't going anywhere in the gale force winds. Thanks for the fav.

[Sue Cooper]

@susiemc Thank you Pamela.....and did you notice the Coot in the foreground, sheltering from the wind.

[judith deacon]

Great capture - fabulous place isn't it? We were there the week before you - did you go to the Abbotsbury Sub Tropical Gardens?

[Sue Cooper]

@jan20 @bizziebeeme Thank you ladies and thanks for the fav Jan.

[Sue Cooper]

@judithdeacon Thank you Judith. No we didn't go to the Sub tropical gardens on this occasion. We'll go back another time when the weather's more...er...sub tropical. It was gale force winds while we were at the Swannery.
